Whoa! I can't wait to get that extra 1/2mm of space that does absolutely nothing.

Replica iPhone 15 Pro Max Offers Best Look Yet at Ultra-Thin Bezels Around Display

websites and youtubers have been drooling over these reduced bezels... but tbh I see such a tiny minimal difference that I feel like I wouldn't even notice it in day to day use.... Maybe I just have to see it in person to appreciate it? I'm sure Apple is going to make a huge deal about it on stage in September.
If a notch or a dynamic island can fade into the background and become unnoticeable with regular use, so too can a bezel the size of the iPhone 14's.
I agree, unless you are carrying a phone nude with no protection, the new design and looks etc are all negated by the protection majority of the ppl slap on their phones.
Big whoop. Might look nice for the first few minutes of use, but you will quickly get used to it and will be no different than your old phone.
Love it! Down with bezels! Looks so much more modern.
Hoping for same screen size, smaller form factor, and lighter (I've been spoiled by my iPhone Mini)
Ah, looks like I can stick with my 14 Pro for another year without feeling missing out 😁
Am I the only one that thinks that looks really good? I get not being excited about it, but it’s obviously not going to be the only improvement on the new iPhone.
I didn’t upgrade from the 13 Pro to the 14 Pro because it had smaller bezels, but it was definitely a nice change that I appreciated.

There was a rumor that it would have rounded edges, but this has the same squared off edges at the 14. I want a phone that's comfortable to hold, not a sharp glass brick.
I've thought the same thing. If they could pull off a light and strong iPhone in some kind of advanced resin or whatever, I'd be all for it. Not only would it be easier to hold, but a lighter device is less likely to damage itself on impact.
I see a SIM card slot. Does that mean EU countries will continue to get a physical SIM card tray on iPhone 15 and U.S. gets the chunk of plastic? ☹️
Going bigger means more clearer content viewing, as well as longer battery life. I know you prefer small phones, and I completely understand the benefit of going smaller. Unfortunately the market prefers big over small, and like it or not the audience who wants smaller phones is pretty small (pun intended)
That's not to say it's gonna be gone forever. While it sucks the iPhone 15 won't have a Mini form, the iPhone 13 Mini is still available and they could very well make a future generation of iPhone a Mini once the 13 Mini is discontinued
Those smaller bezels look more modern (for me at least), but of course other features are more important.
It's a replica made to the specs case makers got - of course there is no iphone box
No more box going forward starting with iPhone 15.
Tim Cook thinks it would be better for the environment if there were no box, no wall charger, no earbuds, etc as all those things result in more mining, deforestation, packaging materials, and planet-heating carbon dioxide emissions that's associated with making all of them.
Everything will be placed into compostable bubble wrap baggies.
I dig it. I want no bezels with edge to edge glass with the very edges of the screen deactivated for touch so you don't press when you don't mean to.
I’m a huge sucker for smaller bezels, so this is stunning to me. Really impressive.
